Book It!
It’s a new year and I’m looking forward to all of the reading I will get to do in the next couple of months before baby gets here. After that, I figure that my reading time will drop dramatically, or that I will end up spending most of my time reading baby books. That’s not…
Read More30 Weeks
I’m 30 weeks along now and have managed to keep myself from being hospitalized for a whole week since my release. Yea! I am still having pain on my right side, and my liver enzyme levels are still off, but the doctors can’t seem to find a cause. At this point, they believe it to…
Read MoreBookish Questions – Least favorite kids’ book of all time?
What is your least favorite kids’ book of all time? I’ve heard horror stories about children who want the same story read to them over and over again. Obviously, I will eventually hate whatever book my child deems her favorite, just because I have to read it all the time. I’m expecting that, but I…
Read More29 Weeks – A Week in Hospital
Spot is now 29 weeks along, but this last week was a rough one. I ended up having to go into hospital early last Thursday morning, and wasn’t released until yesterday evening. I went in due to severe pain on the right side of my abdomen, which was all the more concerning for being 28…
Read More28 Weeks
Spot has been cooking for 28 weeks now. That’s 7 whole months! She still doesn’t have a name, but we do have it narrowed down to about half a dozen options. That’s a good thing, right? I’ve already been to one appointment for her this week, but I’ve got another tomorrow. It’s the glucose test,…

What are your reading goals for 2017? I read quite a few books last year. According to Goodreads, I read a total of 69 books in 2016, that’s 6 more books than in 2015. I would like to think that I could keep my goal from the last two years of reading one book per…
Read More27 Weeks
Spot is 27 weeks along now and, based on her latest scans, doing well. She moved around so much that I wasn’t sure they would be able to get everything they needed, but they were able to tell that Spot has gained 6oz in the last 2 weeks, making her a total of 1lb and…
Read More26 Weeks
Did you know that 26 weeks is an important mark for viability of a baby? At 26 weeks, if something goes wrong in the pregnancy, baby’s survival rate is 90%. And I’m 26 weeks pregnant now, which is super awesome considering all the scares the doctors have given us about Spot’s size. Of course, she…
Read MoreBook It! – #ReadTheMargin
December is #ReadTheMargin month, so outside of a couple books I finished up, I’ve been making an effort to choose books written by and featuring minorities. Artemis Fowl Artemis Fowl is the 1st book in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. This middle-grade novel had been my bedside read for almost a month. …
